ABSTRACT
This chapter is a comparative axiological investigation into the arguments for pro-theism (the view that God's existence would, or does, make the world better), on the assumption that ubuntu is true. The arguments investigated include the Infinite Value Argument, the Argument from No Gratuitous Evil, the Morally Good Agents Argument, the Cosmic Justice Argument, the Afterlife Argument, and the Relationship with God Argument. I argue that many of these arguments fare better from the perspective of ubuntu than do the arguments for anti-theism. I suggest that this is because, at least in part, many of the goods associated with pro-theism are relational instead of intrinsic.
